[Bell Historians] Bell for sale ex-St Hilda's Leicester

[Revd David Cawley]

How amazing! St Hilda's was demolished by a hurricane decades ago, so 
what, I wonder, was the subsequent history of this rather attractive 
little Bell? It didn't go to the other churches in the Team - St 
Saviour's had a 25-cwt 8 at the time of the hurricane and St Peter's had 
(and has) a 20-cwt single Bell hung for ringing. The third church in the 
former Team had a 5-cwt bell hung for swing chiming, so its isn't one of 
these.
